Football Queensland committed to coach development as courses ramp back up

Football Queensland’s (FQ) investment in coach development continues to create new opportunities across the state with over 100 community and advanced courses having already been held in 2020 with over 1500 participants.

Despite losing three full months to COVID-19 restrictions, the pandemic has not affected FQ’s unwavering commitment to enhancing coach education throughout Queensland and meeting its Strategic Plan target to have 8,820 registered coaches by 2023.

The Skill Training Certificate held at Mitchelton FC on August 2 marked the 100^th coaching course or workshop staged this year, and the 34^th since the Queensland Government activated Stage 2 on the roadmap to easing restrictions on June 1.

A further 14 courses have since taken place, increasing the total number of coaching courses and workshops delivered by FQ in 2020 to 114 as of August 11, with many more scheduled for the coming days, weeks and months.

“Strengthening coach development has been a major focus since we released the Strategic Plan and the number of courses on offer are ramping up now that restrictions are easing around the state,” FQ CEO Robert Cavallucci said.

“Through FQ’s statewide Football 2020+ consultations, we recognise that regional areas in particular need coaching resources and support and we’re pleased to have so far conducted 55 courses outside Brisbane in spite of the challenges faced in 2020, with more to be held in coming months.

“That figure encapsulates the 15 MiniRoos, Skill Training and Game Training Certificate courses that have been held in the Football Queensland North zone.

“It also includes the FFA/AFC C Licence course that began in Mackay in February. FQ will drive improvements in the delivery of raw coaching numbers, but we want high standards to be part of that as well. Getting more advanced courses into regional areas makes a huge difference.

“Our Club Development Unit team members are working hard to deliver quality development opportunities and we look forward to creating more education opportunities as the year progresses.”
